They have 2 locations one in Orange beach and one on Canal Road. We have eaten breakfast here many times the prices are very reasonable and the food and service were simply. The wait staff has always been friendly, helpful and they keep that coffee cup filled. So what's good for breakfast the corn beef hash - best I ever had. On Weekends they serve a banana stuffed french toast and absolute must and as others have written more that most people can finish. The biscuits are made there fresh daily and are very good. Our friends visiting from California had Sausage & Biscuits and Gravy and did everything but lick the plate clean. If your counting calories this is not the place for you to have breakfast. UPDATE: Not sure what is going on at Ducks. Our last 4 visits at their 2 locations has been awful. We waited for over 45 minutes for our order to come out and the restaurant was almost empty. When we did receive our orders the food was overcooked and not hot. The eggs were way over done and their french toast was hard. The waitress apologized and said they had been receiving complaints from other diners as well. Like I said we went 4 times and the quality of the food was simply poor each time however the service was better but not great like in the past. My original rating was a 4 The Brick & Spoon is number 1 in the area for upscale breakfast and the Red Slipper & Broken egg are also great breakfast choices. read more

Great little breakfast spot in Orange Beach. The food and service have always been good the times I've dined there. On my most recent trip to the restaurant, I had the French toast and bacon, and it was very tasty. Most of the items on the menu are your classic breakfast items, nothing too unusual or fancy. read more

Duck's Diner - Diners Near Me - Orange Beach, Alabama

Went here for breakfast. The price was a bit high for the portion of food received, but the worst part of the experience was the waitress. The breakfast sandwich I ordered literally had an egg and two strips of bacon between toast with no "frills". The waitress was quick to say, that's the way it comes. Next thing I know, my friend has an issue with his order, and the waitress makes a quip to him as she storms off with his order. At this point I said, we should leave. The four of us quickly agreed, so we left. Our server had the attitude that was the opposite of positive. read more

We were looking for a good breakfast and decided to give Duck's a try. We were seated immediately even though they were pretty busy. The server was friendly and you could tell she had quite a few regulars. Our food took a little bit of time, but it did all arrive hot. The food was okay, but just okay. I would probably go back, but it is not a must stop kind of place. read more

The specials looked awesome and those who had it said it was amazing, but the regular food you could tell was frozen or canned. Some of it was bland and other stuff was overly salty. The service was good even though they were busy. read more

The absolute BEST place for breakfast in Gulf Shores! Real food cooked to order when you order it. My fav is the Corned Beef Hash. The pancakes are a fav of the kids. The owners are a family from Tuscaloosa, AL who went to the beach for vacation and decided not to go home (a common story of lots of locals). They also serve lunch but my family has never tried it. read more

So, since we moved here, we have been seeking to find restaurants that we will like going to repeatedly. After visiting Duck's Diner, not sure this one will be on our return to list. Let me start by saying staff was very friendly and efficient, it's the food that didn't get it right. The Chef's Salad was large on a small plate with way too much "hard" lettuce, and no room to cut the salad without spilling all over the table and worse. The Shrimp Po-boy was equally poor. 1st-$13.00 for a 6" shrimp Po-boy is ripping people off. The bread it was served on was way over toasted to the point where it was crunchy like croutons. It was served with no mayo (which is a huge no no), and they must have used the balance of the hard lettuce left over from the salad on my sandwich. The Fuzzy Duck Bellini was good. Perhaps the reason they serve breakfast all day is because they struggle with everything except breakfast items. read more

Best breakfast ever and ask for Brooke as your server! Everything was fresh and to order! Will be going back!

Very good. Service was good. Loved the crispy bacon. Ducks choice was more than enough food. The eggs were real. Prices were reasonable too. read more

Went for breakfast and it was amazingly good. Well I went about 10am and since it is a short vacation for me I went for the Bloody Mary to start. It was nice and spicy and loaded with lemon, lime, celery and olives (and only $5)! Wife went for the Veggie Omelette with sides of bacon and hash browns. I tasted the hash browns and they were perfect. The omelette was huge! I opted for the Creole Grit Cakes with crab and shrimp and it was excellent! This was the first time I had fried grits and it was superb. The cakes were topped off with huge tomato slices and the creole sauce was just like you would get in New Orleans. I doubt that I will have a need for lunch as the serving was more than adequate! At $13 it was a bargain. I will definitely make this a must to on my next visit to Orange Beach! read more

We almost did not come here because of some of the negative reviews. Our daughter said "GO". The food was excellent and our waiter "Jason" did a fabulous job!!!!we would recommend this place and we will come back. The eggs and corn beef hash was superb. read more

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I'm a regular to the Doughnut Hole in Florida when I visit but we stayed closer to Alabama this time. This place was fabulous!! We always go by a great breakfast place on our way out of town and this was definitely a good pick. The waitstaff was attentive and quick and very friendly!

We've eaten at Duck's three times now (twice for breakfast - once for lunch), and we've always had a great experience. We've never had to wait on a table, and the wait staff is pretty friendly. They have weekend menu items that are definitely not available during the week. 12-31-2015 Breakfast Review: Dad: Duck's Choice - Eggs Overeasy, Sausage Patties, Hashbrowns, Biscuits & Gravy. All excellent. Mom: BLT (with Bacon - not the optional Bologna). Bacon was plentiful and nice and crispy. Tomato was not as vine ripened as perhaps in summer, but it wasn't too bad considering that we ate on December 31. Kids: French Toast was great and the serving size was remarkable. My 11 year old son couldn't finish all of it - and that is something! Biggest Hits: Sausage & Biscuits and Gravy. read more

Great service (seated immediately during brunch hours and food was fresh but quick)! I really loved the coffee. If you like smooth coffee that's not bitter, then you'll like it. We've been here a couple times, and it's everything you'd expect of a casual southern diner. read more

Stopped for breakfast, ordered Lil duck. Eggs over, grits, bologna, rye toast. Received white toast. Immediately told waitress of mistake. Ate grits and meat while waiting 15 minutes for rye toast. Eggs got cold in the mean time. Rye toast wasn't even toasted. Sent eggs back. Asked for check in frustration. The waitress ONLY charged for grits(big deal). My WHOLE meal was ruined. Lost me as a customer! read more

I witnessed them bring my breakfast to a different table set it down in front of them the waiter left to the kitchen after realizing what he did he returned to the table grab the already salted tasted food and carried directly over to my table and says I almost gave your food to the wrong table I wonder how the health department feels about this Your staff my not be telling you the truth that's fine however as I was leaving I stopped to kindly tell my waitress that we are leaving and in the middle of doing so the waiter that made the mistake came running up and defensively said they didn't touch it referring to the plates I then said would you want it and said they breathed on it didn't they He then responded with whatever and rolled his eyes like a bratt and stomped his feet as he went back into the kitchen read more

Delicious breakfast food at a reasonable price. Bloody Mary's were also good and cheap. The service was great and food came out fast. Fifteen to twenty minute wait but definitely worth it. read more

We had a get together with a bunch of people from our condos, for lunch at Duck's Diner. They handled our party of 30 very well. Food was good and the wait staff were exceptional. We heard many positive comment about the experience . Thanks!!! read more

Unpretentious, casual dining. The quintessential meat and three restaurant. Satisfies your hunger without breaking the budget. Breakfast is served all day too! I enjoyed it. read more

Best breakfast in the Gulf! Seriously it's the best. I'm not sure of the server's name, but there's a gentleman that works there that has served me a couple of times during my trips down there. He's the best server I've ever had anywhere. The food is at Duck's Diner out of this world! Every time I come it's like I'm eating a relatives house. Two thumbs up from this out of towner! read more

Odd atmosphere. We felt like we were at a funeral or eerie haunted house. We came in for breakfast and the staff was super cold and emotionless. Food was ok, but the atmosphere made the whole experience uncomfortable and odd. We wanted to love it, but they really need to get the energy up and make it an inviting place to dine. read more

HORRIBLE, horrible service. I have never, EVER been treated more rudely in my entire life. The three employees we encountered (host, hostess, and waitress) were extremely condescending and treated us with such contempt for just being there, I have no idea what we did to make them so angry. We couldn't even finish our meal here (food was bland and cold). Please do yourself a favor and avoid this awful place like the plague!! read more

Great food, great service! This is mainly a breakfast place, but they have very good lunch too. Some of my favorites (breakfast)- Lil Duck, Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Bagel, Blueberry Pancakes, and Oatmeal. They have good bloody mary's and mimosas! For lunch, I loove the grilled chicken sandwich, and all of their lunch specials are pretty good. You might have to wait a bit for a table in the morning during their busy season, but once you sit down, the service is very quick. Waiters are very friendly, and will make sure things are made to your liking! Love this place! My family and I make several trips to this restaurant when we're in town! read more

We came for breakfast on a rainy Saturday morning. It was busy but they were doing a good job of getting people in. The service is very friendly. I had a delicious bloody mary with the breakfast burrito. It was fantastic. My husband had a breakfast combo including the usual eggs, biscuit, bacon, etc. We really enjoyed our meal and will be back next time we're in Gulf Shores! read more

Really good local spot at the beach!!! All our food was delicious! Everything homemade! Great bloody Mary's and mimosas. We would definitely go back (and I don't say that very often). Also they have "Covid" Partitions! Felt very safe eating there! read more

Good breakfast spot. Feta omelet is great, and get blueberry pancakes if the blueberries are fresh. Lively (I.e. noisy), but it IS a diner. Staff are friendly, and the coffee never gets cold because someone is always coming around to refresh your cup. Will be back again. read more

Been here every time I have visited Orange Beach. The food is delicious and quick. I've never waited too long, even if the place is packed. The wait staff are some of the best I've ever seen! Very friendly and courteous. If you want a good breakfast, this is the place to go in Orange Beach! read more

Good breakfasts with more food than I can eat. Served quickly and with smiles. Lunches are good also. Family friendly. Good menu. I think they painted and updated last year. read more

Shrimp and grits. Eggs with a sautéed tomato and spinach! Tasty shrimp! Grits need work, just sprinkling with cheese and a few sprinkles of green onions doesn't really cut it. But the shrimp added something to the grits, just wish they had flavor as well. My husband had a nondescript breakfast meal which was tasty and filling. We enjoy coming to eat here. What happened to the eggs Benedict? read more

If you are looking for a great place to go for breakfast with a very friendly staff that makes you feel at home along with good food this is the place. The first day I had blueberry pancakes that were very good. The second day, a veggie omelet. My friends all had different meals and everyone was happy with what they chose. We are going back again today before we play golf. The only thing that I wish they had...t-shirts with their logo on them. That duck is the cutest! read more

I was visiting my parents in Orange Beach and went out for breakfast. I tried Duck's Diner and the food was excellent. The service was also excellent. read more

Been coming to Orange Beach for years and decided to try this place for breakkfast. Great breakfast sandwich and value. I'll be back

We visited Duck's Diner on a Sunday at noon and only had a short wait. We were seated in the bar area but could order from the full menu. We had breakfast items (which they serve until closing at 2 p.m.) and were not disappointed. The grits were smooth and the sausage and cheese omelet and hash browns I had were wonderful - more upscale restaurant quality than diner dishes. The best part, though, had to be the guy behind the bar. Not only was he making all of the drinks as needed for the entire restaurant, he was the waiter/server for the bar area patrons who were eating. Plus, he was taking care of all the to go orders! On top of all his jobs, he was very personable and entertaining. The prices were as expected and I did feel a need to tip accordingly - he was terrific. I would highly recommend this diner to anyone looking for a decent meal at a decent price with great service! read more

Great service. Order the biscuits. They were perfect - light, fluffy, and NOT dry. The ham steak was good. The beef steak wasn't the best, but we're Kansas beef producers and damn picky about our beef. read more

Great place for breakfast or brunch. Yummy omelettes and fresh blueberry pancakes, wonderful service, and a great crowd.

Had the Ducks Plate breakfast and it was great! Just enough food to fill me up but not stuff me. The biscuits were very good as well.

Goodness Gracious, we love Duck's Diner. Delicious pancakes, yummy cornedbeef hash. Cheap big-ass Bloody Mary's & Mimosas. The wait staff is fun. They're usually quite busy, but we never seem to wait long. They move U in out quick. They serve a great meat-n-3 for lunch as well. read more

Great breakfast. No wait. So clean with 99 health rating. Amazing service.

Every time I come to OBA I look forward to eating a big hearty breakfast at Duck's! This trip was no exception except I ate there twice! lol Worth the weight gain both times. Staff is courteous and fast and everyone helps out each other so you can tell its not about getting a tip but more about providing great service. Which they do! Very casual diner with awesome southern food! read more
